A Giants fan growing up, Alameda’s Woo shines in Seattle’s win at Oracle

“I grew up as an infielder and never really watched pitchers that much,” Woo said. “Crawford being the guy here in San Francisco the last decade or so, he was my guy. Obviously the (leader) of the team, great infielder, sweet left-handed swing. So he was always who I tried to model my game after.”

Woo wouldn’t get to face his childhood hero, as Crawford was out of the starting lineup Monday night with a side injury. But the Mariners’ No. 3 prospect did dazzle through six innings against his favorite childgood team as the Mariners beat the Giants 6-5.

Giants All-Star closer Camilo Doval had the worst outing of his MLB career, giving up a career-high four runs — all earned — to take his first loss since April 14. Doval, who turns 27 Tuesday, didn’t have many answers for his struggles Monday night.

“What can I tell you?” Doval said through an interpreter. “It wasn’t my day. I think Seattle just gave me a big birthday present.”

The second of Blake Sabol’s two home runs — a three-run shot in the bottom of the ninth — made it close, but Crawford, facing Paul Sewald after entering in the eighth inning, struck out with Wilmer Flores at first as the possible tying run to end the game.

Sabol’s career-best five RBI night and first multi-homer game came after a Barry Bonds teaching session pregame.

“Maybe he knows a thing or two about hitting some homers, but I don’t know,” Sabol said. “I felt that was probably the best I’ve felt since since spring training.”

Woo, a rookie who made his debut on June 3, struck out seven in his first major league start in Northern California, allowing two runs on Sabol’s fourth-inning homer as the only damage.

“This is off-the-charts amazing,” said Hilary Woo, Bryan’s mom. “There’s no words to describe seeing your kid achieve this at this level. You have to be a baseball lover to understand what it takes to get to this level. But, you have to be a parent to really understand what it takes.”

Woo played for Cal Poly for three years, but only significantly in his freshman year as the pandemic canceled his sophomore season and he had Tommy John surgery as a junior.

Nevertheless, Woo was selected in the sixth round in 2021 by the Mariners. With a fastball that has some life on it, Woo made it to the big leagues in less than two seasons, jumping from Double-A to Seattle earlier this year.

Hilary Woo said there were more than 100 friends and family on hand Monday to see her son pitch, including his 93-year-old grandfather John and 85-year-old grandmother Nancy. John Woo had never before seen his grandson pitch.

On the other side, Giants starter Logan Webb also flashed signs of why he was a potential All-Star Game snub as he struck out 11 in six innings, allowing two runs on a wild pitch and ground out.

Webb’s performance was the sixth double-digit strikeout game of his career, three of which have come this season.

But the Giants’ ace ran into trouble in the fourth, walking Mike Ford to load the bases with one out. 

Getting Dylan Moore to an 0-2 count the next batter, Webb threw a diving changeup into the dirt that Sabol stabbed at. The ball bounced over Sabol’s glove and reached the backstop, allowing Teoscar Hernandez to sprint home for the game’s first run.

Webb then tightened up, striking out Moore for the second out. A line drive by Kolten Wong looked to be headed to the right-field corner, but a diving LaMonte Wade Jr. snagged the liner at first to end the inning.

“There was some good, and some not so good,” Webb said. “I thought Blake did a great job calling the game, and it was good overall.”

As for Woo, he allowed three base runners through three innings but went unscathed, striking out five. But, like Webb, the opposing bats got to him in the fourth. Woo served Sabol a two-out, two-strike, four-seam fastball up in the zone. It was apparently the pitch Sabol was looking for as he crushed it over the center field wall for a two-run home run.

In the seventh inning, singles from Wong and J.P. Crawford gave Seattle runners on first and third with one out. Reigning AL Rookie of the Year Julio Rodriguez hit a possible double play ball to shortstop Casey Schmitt but he beat second baseman Brett Wisely’s throw to first to allow Crawford to score, knotting the game at 2.

Doval entered in the ninth with the game tied, but he was anything but lights out.

After giving up a single to Ford, Doval threw an inside fastball that seemed to have hit the knob of pinch-hitter Ty France’s bat, but was ruled to have hit France, a call upheld on a challenge by Gabe Kapler.

After pinch-runner Jose Caballero stole third, Wong hit a grounder to Wade, who tried to get Caballero too far from third. It didn’t work and the Mariners had the bases loaded.

A Crawford sac fly brought home Caballero. Rodriguez then smacked a double down the left field line, scoring both France and Wong. Teoscar Hernandez finished off the scoring with an RBI single to score Rodriguez to make it 6-2. Sabol’s second HR came in the bottom of the ninth, but still left the Giants a run short.

“I think one thing to remember is that Camilo is an All-Star and one of the better closers around baseball,” Kapler said. “It’s abundantly clear. He also has a little bit of work to do in terms of slowing things down. We’re working really hard to to bring everything up to speed so it can all come together, and tonight it just it wasn’t there for him.”
